4. Should a company’s number one focus be on making money for its shareholders?
5. What might be other ethical factors surrounding this issue?

4. What are some other ethical dilemmas that you think could arise from such practices?
5. Conduct an Internet search on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act signed by President Bush. Do you think that act is fair to employers and employees? Why or Why not?
